- I'm a very biased, but the DEC C++ compiler supports both templates (reasonably
- in most aspects IMHO) and exceptions. Its associated debugger, DECLadebug
- also provides basic support for both features. For instance, you can say:
-
- stop in foo<int>::bar
-
- etc.
-
- Its only available on DEC platforms at this time.
